Who tells me some ways to tell the direction in the wild?

The following are the most commonly used ways to tell the direction in the wild:

1. Observe the sky: The most common way to observe the sky is to observe Polaris. Directly below it is the north, and clockwise is the east, south and west.

2. Observing the sun: When the sun reaches its highest point at noon, in the northern hemisphere, the position of the sun is due south; In the southern hemisphere, it lies due north.

3. Shadow bell method: On a flat land, vertically place a vertical trunk with a length of 1 m.. Mark the position of the shadow and mark the top with a stone or stick. 15 minutes later, mark the new projection position of the top of the trunk on the ground. The connection between two points will give you the east-west direction ―― mark the west first.

4, simple compass: a wire (sewing needle can be) repeatedly rubbing silk in the same direction, will produce magnetism, can be hung to indicate the North Pole.

5. Observe the moon: If the moon rises after the sun, then the "glowing" side is in the east. This method seems simple and clear, but it doesn't mean that the moon can be used to tell the east-west direction all night.

6. Observe the ants' caves: Most caves face south.

7. Observe rocks: In places with many rocks, you can also find an eye-catching rock to observe. The mossy side of the rock is the north side, and the dry and bare side is the south side.

How to judge the position with a watch;

During the day, if you wear a watch, you can tell the direction with the watch and the sun. Lay the watch flat so that the hour hand is facing the sunlight (the direction from which the light comes or the direction opposite to the figure), and then divide the angle between the hour hand and 12 hour on the watch equally. This bisector refers to the south (this method is applicable to the area north of the Tropic of Cancer and close to the Beijing time zone).
